A Tale Told By An Idiot

[Mike Kanze]

Many of the recent posts in these NGs remind me of Shakespeare's line in Macbeth about "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" (Act V., Scene 5).

(I am fully aware that some of my posts might also be so categorized. <g>)

Personally, I prefer not to waste electrons by feeding odd behaviors, trolls, and the like.

Cheers!

'Tis not to feed the troll, but to provide information and insight to
the serious with an interest in the subject who otherwise might
abandon the pursuit thereof and simply depart shaking their collective
heads in mystification.

Just knowing someone with a collective head would be interesting

In my case I really am into the subject of the group, but am by no
means an expert...and it's fun to mess with the trolls too...an
internet turkey shoot ;)
But I try not to get to deep into arguing with them, we only get so
many breaths in life...

Geez Ed, this is right up there with

world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands"

Actually after reading through the latest additions of the daily
drivel, I've got to confess the idiocy is insurmountable. I yield to
the wiser and abandon the field to those with greater persistence.

What, nobody talking about Vietnam?

I guess that means your voicebox is muted.

Silence is golden ;)

Rob,

Hardly. Just continuously amazed that the same pathologies cycle endlessly, like an out-of-control carousel.

It IS tempting I'll admit, but the few regulars that manage to hang in
still manage to make some sense out of checking in once in a while.
